Is there a reed that can substitute an alto clarinet reed?

Q: I just went to the music store, and they didn't have any alto clarinet reeds, and I need some for tomorrow. Is there any kind of reed that I could use as a substitute?

I've heard that an alto clarinet reed works for alto sax. Does it work the other way around?

A: Try an alto sax reed. It is a bit longer, but that's fine. It's better to have it be a bit too long than too short. Try Vandorin reeds if you haven't already. They're great. Good luck!
